Rory is sitting in her room back at home staring at the computer screen. She is stuck on how to reword the story she was working on for the newspaper. All of a sudden her cell phone begins to ring, she was hoping that it was Logan because she was missing him.

"Hello?" Rory answered.

"Rory. Hi it's Dean. How are you?"

"Hi Dean. I'm okay, what about you?" Rory asked nervously.

"I'm okay. Do you think that we could meet at my place? I'd really like to talk to you."

"Okay, when?" Rory asked, now she was even more nervous, usually he hadn't been that abrupt with her.

"How about twenty minutes?"
"All right. I'll see you then," Rory said as she hung up the phone. She was really nervous as to why Dean wanted to see her. She saved what she had been working on, then she turned her computer off. She left a note for her mom and Luke on the table.

She left the house and drove over to Dean's apartment. She knocked on the door, quickly he answered it and pulled her inside. She was wondering why he wasn't dressed and not clean shaven.

After Rory walked in, she asked him, "Dean, is everything okay?"

Dean looked at Rory, then he pulled her into him and kissed her.

She pushed him away and said, "Dean, I can't do this. You know I'm with Logan and I have been for four years now. I'm in love with him."

Dean looked at her, and replied, "Rory, you can't be."

"Why not Dean? Why can't I be in love with him?" Rory was frustrated with Dean, he had his chance and he couldn't do anything about it then.

"Because," he paused, "I love you." Dean answered.

"Dean, I'm sorry, but we've tried things and it didn't work out. Now I'm with Logan and I really love him. Things have to be this way," Rory answered as she started to walk toward the door.

"Rory, please. Give me another chance," Dean pleaded with her and she opened the door.

"Dean, I can't," Rory answered as she closed the door and left.

Rory got in her car and left. She drove around for a bit trying to process what had just happened between her and Dean. Then she went back to her house, to finish her story.

When she walked in the door, she went straight to her computer and started working on her story, when he cell phone rang. She picked it up and checked the caller ID, it was Dean. She left it to have the voicemail pick it up. Then she fell asleep after struggling with her story some more.

After she woke up, she checked her messages, there were two. One was from Dean, and the other was from Logan.

"Rory, it's Dean. Listen, I want to apologize for what went on today. I know it was wrong and I'm really, really sorry, but what I said is the truth, I do love you. Maybe you'll give me a call back when you get a chance."

"Ace, it's me. Have any plans after you're done with your story? I thought we cold go out for a little while. Give me a call back when you get this. I love you."

Rory checked her watch, it was 9:30, so she called Logan back. She just got his answering machine, so she left a message:

"Hey, it's me. Where are you? I'm just calling you back. I fell asleep while I was typing up my story. Give me a call when you get a chance. I love you." Rory was just a little concerned, but she figured that Logan was out with Finn and Collin so she wasn't too nervous.

"Rory are you here?" Lorelei called as she entered the house.

"Yeah mom, I'm in the kitchen." Rory called back.

"So did you finish your story?"

"No, but do you want to hear what happened earlier?"

"Sure, now spill it!" Lorelei exclaimed.

"Dean called me and he wanted to see me?"

Lorelei interrupted worriedly, she knew that Dean was still in love with Rory, but knew Rory was in love with Logan, so she didn't say anything to her, "You didn't go over there did you?"

"Yeah, why? Are you surprised?"

"Nothing, well, just a little. So what happened?" Lorelei answered.

"So I went over there and he kissed me!" Rory excalimed.
Lorelei asked nervously, "You didn't kiss him back, did you?"

"Of course not mom. I'm in love with Logan. I want to spend the rest of my life with him."
Lorelei was so happy to hear that from Rory, that she had to ask, "Rory, I'm glad to hear that, but are you going to tell Logan?"

"I have to, but I just hope that he realizes that it meant absolutely nothing to me."

"If he loves you like I think he does, he'll be okay," Lorelei comforted Rory.

There was a knock at the door, Rory looked at her clock it was 9:30, the next morning and she hadn't finished her story.

She went to the door and all she could see was that it was someone holding a bouquet of roses.

"Miss Gilmore?"
"Yes," Rory hesitated.

"These are for you, but could you sign this please," he asked as he handed her the clipboard.

"Thank you," Rory said as he handed her the roses.

Rory walked into her room with the roses and put them on her dresser. She looked for a card then finally found it on her dresser. It had fell from the flowers,

"Rory,

I'm sorry for doing what I did yesterday. I hope you can forgive me. I still want us to be friends, but don't tell Logan!

--Dean"

Rory put down the card and there was another knock at the door.
